Monica Lund
Writer/Producer
Writer/Producer
Monica Lund’s first experiences with film was the same as most of us: as a viewer, enjoying “moving picture” stories from the comfort of her own home on the family television. In Monica’s case, joining her maternal grandmother in front of the TV to watch black and white films from the 1930s and 1940s was her first introduction to the wonderful world of cinema. The television may have been small, but the stories were huge.
As a young child, Monica wrote plays that traveled overseas — by postage mail, when her mom would send them to her wherever Monica’s father was currently serving. Fast-forward many years: Monica’s day job had become accounting, but much of her free time was spent on “all things film”– something that soon grew to be more than a hobby.

Her first true “aha” moment that she wanted to do more than just dabble in film occurred while attending the Heart of Film Festival & Screenwriting Conference, now known as Austin Film Festival (AFF), in 1998. Monica was so inspired by her experiences at AFF, that after the festival was over, she boldly walked into their offices, told them how much she loved their festival, and asked what could she do to help further their mission. After some testing, they signed her up as a reader for the screenwriting competition, which she has been doing ever since.
At 2003’s AFF, Monica met the Yeager sisters, Marian and Elizabeth. Marian and Monica formed an instant friendship, rooted in a common love of not only watching films, but also creating meaningful stories. And now, they work together to craft exceptional, narrative-driven tales.
Monica got her first hands-on experience with as a film producer with MY’s Blue Suede Wings (2007). She also worked with MY Productions and Marian Yeager throughout post-production and into distribution on The Conway Curve. In 2017, Monica became a full-time member of the MY Productions team. Monica’s skills as a writer, producer, and all-around go-getter are valuable resources in the company’s continued commitment to high-quality, story-centric productions.
